Week Ten: Manga

I read Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. I thought it was super interesting as the themes are very complex. I think The art and stylization was also very captivating and dramatic. I think there are many other works that follow the same stylistic guide: sharp angles, dramatic speech bubbles, etc. It was interesting to see the differences commonly noted between American and Japanese comics, but also the similarities. I think American comics are more influenced today more than ever by masterpieces created in Japan.
